Shenali D Waduge The Moment that Changed a Nation There comes a moment in every nation’s history when destiny demands a decision. In Sri Lanka, that moment came in 2006.

Shenali D Waduge In 2023, a deceptively packaged proposal was tabled to amend Section 365 and fully repeal Section 365A of Sri Lanka’s Penal Code — laws that currently criminalize unnatural sexual acts and gross indecency. LGBTQIA+ lobbyists and their foreign-funded backers claimed these were colonial relics” and tools of discrimination.” This is an outright falsehood. A legal Trojan Horse. A […]

Shenali D Waduge While Sri Lanka waged its final campaign to eliminate the LTTE terrorist organization between 2006 and 2009, the United Nations and UNHRC once again failed in their duty to uphold international law, protect civilians, or address terrorism impartially.

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka stands today as the ONLY nation that defeated one of the world’s most ruthless terrorist organizations—the LTTE—without international military assistance.

Shenali D Waduge Sri Lanka’s Sections 365 and 365A, enacted during colonial times and strengthened in 1995 and 2006, protect children from sexual exploitation, including same-sex abuse. Private consensual acts, where adults are involved, are not the issue—those can remain private as has been done over centuries. The real concern is the push by some […]

Shenali Waduge Sri Lanka, is a nation morally anchored in the teachings of the Buddha. From the Constitution to the Penal Code though the latter is colonial, Sri Lanka’s legal foundations echo Buddhist ethical values such as non-harming, truth, justice, and restraint.

Shenali Waduge Lack of Credible Evidence Supporting Genocide Allegations. The 1948 Genocide Convention defines genocide as acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group.

Shenali D Waduge If there is a war against terrorism and extremism, there can be no room for double standards.

Shenali D Waduge Where were all these LTTE fronts when Prabakaran was declared dead in May 2009, when his father died in 2010 & mother died in 2011? Not even Prabakarans siblings came to conduct his funeral or even the parent’s funeral. Sri Lanka’s Armed Forces cremated Prabakaran & threw his ashes to sea. His […]

Shenali D Waduge Has it never occurred to the international media or so-called international community or even UN/UNHRC Officials to question the silence of LTTE fronts to LTTE’s recruitment of Tamil children who were turned into child soldiers forming one third of LTTE’s ground force? How can LTTE fronts call for justice when hiding their […]
